| IDRONAUT completes the “Portable Reader” by introducing a proprietary real-time data acquisition application, specifically developed to be used in the field under extreme conditions. The aim of μREDAS is to emulate the REDAS-5 data acquisition functions on a rugged mobile computer (PDA) running the Windows Mobile, through a simplified and intuitive operator interface software. μREDAS automatically interfaces the OCEAN SEVEN 3xx probes and allows the operator to set up and start a real-time data acquisition cycle in few seconds. Acquired data is stored in binary “RAW” files, compatible with the REDAS-5 programme, and can be later imported into the REDAS-5 database to perform data visualization (numerical and graphical) and post-processing. μREDAS interfaces and is compatible with the following IDRONAUT probes: · OCEAN SEVEN 316 and OCEAN SEVEN 316Plus · OCEAN SEVEN 320 and OCEAN SEVEN 320Plus · OCEAN SEVEN 303 · OCEAN SEVEN 304 · OCEAN SEVEN 305 · OCEAN SEVEN EA89 The most important features of μREDAS are: » Interfacing of OCEAN SEVEN 3xx probes through: RS232C, RS422, telemetry and Bluetooth wireless interfaces. » Real-time data acquisition and storing at the maximum scan rate allowed by the interfaced OCEAN SEVEN 3xx probe. » Easy customization of the shown acquired real-time data. It is possible to show up to 8 different parameters contemporaneously. » Storing of programme set-up in a configuration file for an easy and quick real-time acquisition start-up. » Extraction and showing of acquired data in function of time and/ or pressure configurable steps. » Immediate numerical representation of acquired real-time data using large fonts thus further increasing numbers readability. » Interfacing of a GPS to associate acquired real-time data with the geographical coordinates. » Calculation of derived parameters. Salinity, Sound Speed, Water Density, Pressure to Depth Conversion, Potential Temperature, Oxygen ppm are obtained using the algorithms described in the UNESCO technical papers in marine science no. 44 “Algorithms for computation of fundamental properties of sea water”. Note REDAS-5 programme is mandatory to post-process, extract, visualize and export in text files data acquired through μREDAS . |   | ||
